This paper focuses on security and trust issues arising from the usage of cloud services in IoT domain. Secure trusted things as a service has been proposed here to reduce majority of the challenges in Cloud of Things environment. The main focus is on encryption mechanism with less overhead besides a trust model to enable real time decision making authentic.
